Nobody should be trying to prove anything with what articles are read. We just need to support each other, in what ever direction people decide to go in. This horrible condition is pain to the max, I am for any treatment that has a hope of working. Each person is unique, and should have a right to that hopeful part in treatment. What I think is when in the back of my mind I hear, "It could be me" What would I do? I would try most anything I think to get out of the pain and at a least give some of these devices a chance. I wouldn't want my hope taken away from me. since I do have some new and unexpained pain, It does make me think about the individual. I care about all of you, and hope each person gets help with their pain. ginnie
